Great news out of Georgia!

ALL of the 15 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have died as the Georgia legislative session comes to a close.

This was only possible with intense efforts from local LGBTQ+ activists.

Some good news for a change!

I was a part of this fight! I was a transgender adult at risk for losing my health care (as a state employee).

Thank you everyone for fighting so hard. Don't give up.

I never for a moment imagined that some day I'd grow up and actually sit and watch a state legislative session. On purpose.

I mean, I don't think many on here could blame me for doing this right now. But still, to child-me "C-SPAN viewer" would have sounded as unrealistic as "woman" as my future.

Nevermind, I dont know why I ever had hope GA wouldn't take away my (adult) care. I didnt stand a chance.

Seriously, Im going to need advice on sourcing DIY HRT. I dont exactly have "plugs" around here and I dont even know where to start asking.

One more week in the GA legislative season. One more week.

HB54 is the threat to my life. It is still active, and could be voted on any day.

If it passes, I, as an adult state employee, will lose medical coverage for gender affirming care. No recourse. No options. No hope.

Where do I find DIY?

Im proud to vote for @audrey4ga.bsky.social for GA state house today.

Audrey, as a (newly) openly Transgender teacher for GCPS, who is *terrified* of the bills outlawing my medical care currently waiting... I want you to know how grateful I am for your representation and I pray for your success.

Im an adult teacher in GA, and the state is about to pass a law this year that says I cant get gender affirming care through my insurance.

Im an adult. Im not an athlete.

And GA is about to cut my benefits with no compensation or relief. Just cut my care.

Its not about sports or kids. Its not.

'What rights don't you have?'
'Nobody's coming for trans people.'
'This isn't about adults.'
'You're overreacting.'
'What can't you do that you used to?'
'Name me where it says this is about you.'
'You're paranoid. Nobody is coming for your rights.'

Imagine being told this every day, then this.

GodDAMNit Newsom is going to be our next Dem nominee which means *best case scenario* we got absolutely no economic justice/improvements in our country, continued rule by the tech billionaire/oligarchs, and absolutely NO progress on Trans/human rights.

Awesome.

Well, it finally happened. One of my old students had their parents kidnapped by ICE. He's a phenomenal student, incredibly hard worker, and is going to an extremely prestigious college with scholarships he earned.

I live in GA. Not LA, or Minnesota. Don't forget it is happening everywhere, people.

What do we call the stage of transition when you get absolutely *obsessed* with Stardew Valley?

Cause I've never played it before, just picked it up, and now I CAN. NOT. PUT. IT. DOWN.

To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care:

I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care. 

Your health care is still legal and protected. 

I'll always fight for you.

Is it okay to be fully mtf trans and just not *want* bottom surgery? Maybe ever?

Never say never, I get that. I am very early in transition.

FFS? yes id like that. Breasts? Maybe if it looks like they wont come on their own. Maybe even vocal chords.

But im not really dysphoric about my bottom :/
